Have an exhuast smell in the sleeper. I looked under the cab as best I can for any holes or anywhere exhuast could be coming in. No luck. Anyone tin maybe the exhuast smell is coming from my vents when it takes the outside air? Not much wind tonight and two idling trucks next to me plus my apu. Trying to exhuast all options before I gotta do something about it.

Put my ac on recerc and the smell seems to be going away. I think my vents were just pickin up everyone's exhuast. Trying to get this thing to idle now. No recerc on apu

The vents pick it up, either from the APU's or the trucks around you. If I were assigned a truck with an APU, I would install a Co2 alarm. Looking around truck stops I see more and more APU's, so if I were assigned a truck I would probably install one anyway. I like to wake up after grabbing some shut eye.

I would look first at the exhaust elbow behind the sleeper. These go bad all the time. Look for black sooty residue where it makes a connection to the exhaust. Or feel with your hand if not too hot or spray some liquid on there and look for a bubble. Check your clamps, too.
